Using Deactivations with Your Prism GraphPad License

When it comes to managing your Prism GraphPad license, there are certain situations where you may need to use the deactivation feature. However, it's essential to understand when and how to use this feature to avoid any potential issues or confusion.

Firstly, it's important to note that you should only use the deactivation feature if a computer is being permanently removed from service. If you're simply wiping a computer and reinstalling the license on the same machine, Prism will treat it as the same computer and won't consume an additional activation.

Activations with Prism are tied to a unique machineID number generated by the software, rather than the user name or computer name. This means that if you deactivate a computer, the license will be freed up for use on another machine.

Before deactivating a computer, it's crucial to ensure that you're taking it permanently out of circulation. Once deactivated, the machine can no longer be used with your Prism GraphPad license.

To view a list of all machines that have been deactivated under your license, simply log in to your online Prism account page and click on the Activations tab. Then, click on the Show Deactivations link to see the list of deactivated machines.

If you're a user under a group subscription, you'll need to contact your Prism group license administrator directly to request help transferring to a new computer. Similarly, if you're trying to transfer your license or move Prism to a new machine, you can permanently reclaim your license from your old computer in order to install on your replacement computer.

In conclusion, using deactivations with your Prism GraphPad license requires careful consideration and attention to detail. By understanding when and how to use this feature, you can ensure that your licenses are managed efficiently and effectively.
